We got one here at YSBL.
Let me know what to do and I'll set it doing it.
Given it came from Paul & Kevin's grant from memory it seems only fair
to use it this way!
Cheers,
Tim

Hi Mark:
My 10.4 G4 is lying in a heap of smoldering rubble at work on what
would be my dining room table if I was paid enough to own a real
house, along with heaps of wreckage that represent various stages in
the life cycle of the SGI (including some from Alice). (The SGIs, to
their credit, still work, even if there hasn't been an OS update in
10 years.)
I did a security update on my trusty G4, xanana (named for the East
Timor Fretilin rebel leader and subsequent president) and it would
not reboot. Apple said it needed a new processor board, which would
cost more than an iMac that is about 10X faster.
So, it is gone the way of the SGI.
I'm right now making bundles for 10.5 intel and ppc.
If anyone has a 10.4 ppc machine and is willing to do this, I will
be happy to tell you how. (Basically I just configure a new fink
installation to build in /usr/local/xtal/coot and then weed out as
much as possible).
Sorry. At least it lasted longer than an iPod.

Will somebody be putting a mac G4 10.4 bundle together, for the new
version? Please, pretty please!
